They cannot scare me with their empty spaces; Between stars -- on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home; To scare myself with my own desert places. (Robert Frost)

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces; Between stars -- on stars where no human race is. I have it in me so much nearer home; To scare myself with my own desert places.
